00:23Trump the man-lit keeps talking about big beautiful bombers and magnificent great warships.
00:33That's a direct statement from Iran's top missile commander.
00:37Brigadier General Syed Majid Mousavi, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard
00:42Corps Aerospace Force, delivered this taunt in mid-February 2026, mocking U.S. President
00:49Donald Trump's trademark language about big beautiful American bombers and magnificent
00:55great warships.
00:56Mousavi's words are more than rhetoric, they're a calculated warning, a bold display
01:02of Iran's missile capabilities at a time when U.S.-Iran tensions are dangerously high.
01:11Mousavi leads Iran's missile program, the backbone of the country's strategic deterrence.
01:17Since taking command in 2025, he has overseen rapid expansion and modernization of Iran's
01:24ballistic missile arsenal, rebuilding it beyond 2025 levels after damage sustained in the brief
01:30war with Israel.
01:31When he says big beautiful missiles, he isn't joking.
01:36He's signaling range, precision and readiness, sending a message not just to Washington, but
01:41to U.S. allies and regional partners in the Gulf.
01:44This statement comes amid one of the tensest periods in recent U.S.-Iran relations.
01:52The U.S. has significantly bolstered its regional presence, deploying aircraft carriers like the
01:58USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Gerald R. Ford, alongside advanced fighters and missile defenses.
02:05Indirect nuclear talks continue in Oman and Geneva, but divisions remain deep.
02:11Iran refuses to limit missile ranges or cap uranium enrichment while demanding sanctions relief.
02:18Trump has set a tight 10- to 15-day deadline for a deal, warning of really bad things if
02:24negotiations fail.
02:26Today on Iran, bad things will happen if Iran doesn't make a deal.
02:30Really bad things.
02:32I'm not going to talk to you about that.
02:35What is the goal if there is a U.S. military strike?
02:38Well, are we going to make a deal, or are we going to get a deal one way or the
02:41other?
02:41But with a military strike, do you think to wipe out their nuclear program?
02:44I'm not going to talk to you about that.
02:46But we're either going to get a deal, or it's going to be unfortunate for them.
02:51And then since they've seen a deadline for them to make a deal?
02:55I would think that would be enough time, 10-15 days, pretty much maximum.
03:00Mousavi's quip perfectly captures Tehran's defiance, mocking American pride while underscoring Iran's growing deterrent capabilities.
03:09Trump emphasizes overwhelming U.S. air power and naval supremacy.
03:14Iran responds by showcasing its missile program, their invisible yet potent counterweight.
03:22It's a clash of narratives.
03:24One side touts bombers and carriers.
03:27The other highlights precision missiles ready to strike if provoked.
03:31And in the volatile Middle East, words like these aren't idle.
03:35They are warnings with global stakes.
03:37So, who has the advantage?
03:40Is it the country boasting about magnificent warships and stealth fighters?
03:44Or the nation claiming big beautiful missiles capable of reaching U.S. bases and allies in the Gulf?
03:50Right now, both sides are flexing, posturing and counting days.
